Lopazze has worked one-on-one with many successful Spartan players over the past two years.  He tutored outfielder Ryan Basham who went on to garner First Team All-Big 10 team honors.  He also worked with first baseman Steve Gerstenberger who became one of the best defenders in the conference after beginning with the Spartans as one of the weakest defenders.  Coach Grewe hopes that his success as a one on one tutor will carry over to his team skills.
